J7V Of/i? OPINION

Tie A Yellow RibbonAs the war in the Persian Gulf enters into week

three, more and more Americans are hanging outtheir flags and posting yellow ribbons. Anywherefrom car antennas to lamp posts, or in the form of apin, people are proudly displaying their support andhope for our men and women in the military. Theyellow ribbon portrays the desire of Americans fortheir soilders to come home safely.

We would like to see more townspeople display anAmerican flag or yellow ribbon (if you can find astore that is not sold out) to help promote unity inour community. In these trying times when many areanxious, it is the least Fanwood, Scotch Plains andsurrounding towns can do to encourage families withfriends and loved ones overseas. The presence of aflag or ribbon does a lot for the morale of the wholecommunity; it gives a feeling of safety andreassurance. This is also an ideal situation forchildren to express their concern for the war, such aswearing a yellow bow on their knapsack, coat, lun-chbox, or by hanging the flag outside every morningbefore going to school. Couldn't we all find a way toexpress our committment?

Students poem reflectsfeelings about WAR

The following poem was wri/ien by the students inMs. Marylynne Scaiuro 's Special Education Class atTerrill Middle School. Clifford Belher III, MikeStefanick, Steven Nanfria II, Malt Giraud Jr., LisaChaillet, Erin McCoy, Theresa Tripet, Amos S.Osborne III and Erin Van Horn worked with theirteacher to create this poem.

WARWhat does it bring?It brings action and dying people.It brings sad people to the graves of

their sons and daughters.It brings innocent people to an end.Bombs, guns what does it bring?IT BRINGS WAR!!IT BRINGS TROUBLE.

Scotch PlainsGovernor responds lojet noise problem

Diane Russell, SpecialAssistant to GovernorFlorio, forwarded thefollowing letter to ScotchPlains/Fanvvood CitizensAgainst Aircraft Noise.We would like to publiclyacknowledge the Gover-nors' efforts to relieveNew Jersey of the jet noiseproblem and hope for aspeedy resolution.The Honorable

Samuel SkinnerSecretaryU.S. Department

of Transportation400 Seventh Street, SWWashington, D.C. 20590Dear Secretary Skinner:

As you know, thechanged flight patterns ofthe Expanded East CoastPlan (EECP) have createda serious noise problemfor many New Jerseyresidents. I would like toset up a meeting with youearly in 1991 to discussways that this problem canbe addressed.

I wrote to you inSeptember requesting thatthe FAA conduct an in-

depth evaluation of theEECP to determine if ithas accomplished itsstaled goals and toevaluate the environmen-tal impact of the changedflight patterns. Since then,Congress has passed a Na-tional Noise Policy, whichincludes the requirementthat an EnvironmentalImpact Study be done onthe EECP.

I would like to have theopportunity, along withNew Jersey citizens af-fected by aviation noise,to discuss with you the ap-proach that the FAAwould take in doing thisstudy. I would also like toexplore in greater detailthe management actionsthe FAA can take tomitigate noise problems inthe short term.

There are many peoplewhose lives are affected byaircraft noise in NewJersey who have attemp-ted to work with the FAAto address the noise pro-blem. They feel frustratedthat their concerns havenot been taken seriouslyand that the FAA hasdone little to address thenoise problem. A meetingwould provide the oppor-tunity for you to hear theconcerns of New Jerseyresidents and for thecitizens of New Jersey tohear how the FAA isdealing with aircraft noiseproblems.

I look forward to hear-ing from you in the nearfuture about a lime tomeet.

The missile terror attack by Iraq against Israelicivilians in an effort aimed at widening the PersianGulf war should lay to rest any doubts that SaddamHussein was ever interested in peace in the Mideast.Israel is the fourth neighboring country that Iraq hasattacked; the others being Saudi Arabia, Iran andKuwait.

For over a decade, Saddam Hussein has been plan-ning a war of conquest, and he received enormoushelp from countries that sold Iraq billions of dollarsin arms, including the Soviet-made SCUD missilesthat were lauched against Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The buildup of Iraq's military, chemical andnuclear arsenal point up the urgency of halting aworldwide arms race through tough trade and finan-cial sanctions against countries that buy or sellweapons of mass destruction.

Even as the missiles were on the launching pads inthe Persian Gulf, former Warsaw pact countries thatdesperately need capital were busy selling theirsurplus military hardware to highest bidders, in-cluding many poor Third World countries. Defenseanalysts fear that the Soviet Union will join theparade by dumping tanks, planes and missiles on theworld market as part of an agreement limiting itsforces in Europe.

The Soviet Union has dominated worldwide armssales during the past ten years with sales of $134billion. Almost $46 billion worth of Soviet madeweapons went to Iraq. France sold it $26 billion, Bri-tain $14 billion, China $6.2 billion, and North Korea$3.3 billion in modern arms and missiles.

This enormous and unprecedented arms buildup inIraq does not include the military bases and in-frastructure developed with help from several coun-tries. Nor does it calculate the costs to pay the WestGerman firms for their technology and expertise inthe construction of chemical and biological warfareplants.

The western democracies have been just asculpable in their hunger for profits from selling armsto unstable countries, such as Iraq and Syria. Six ofthe world's top 10 merchants of mass destruction arewestern countries, and they accounted for $104billion worth of arms sales out of the $261 billionsold by the top ten exporting countries over the lastdecade.

With six percent of the world's gross national pro-duct and 20 percent of all government expendituresof developing countries spent on arms, it is time tohalt this dangerous competition. Once the Iraq warends, President Bush will have an opportunity to of-fer a new initiative to stop the arms race. As a start, Iam urging the president to reassess the proposedtransfer to $30 billion worth of U.S. weapons to our

In times such as these, it is imperative that suc-cessful investing requires a long-term perspective-one based on the lessons of history and on currentfacts, not hunches. Investors who have a plan andstick to it do better in the long run than those who tryto develop a new strategy every time the environmentchanges. Usually the latter, who sometimes callthemselves "flexible" investors, are a step or twobehind the shifting conditions - so they end up zigg-ing when they should zag. Also, they never follow asingle approach long enough to develop good skills inexecuting it.

This is one of those periods when patience is verynecessary. The crisis of the moment looks like theworst we've ever seen - but usually it isn't. The equitymarket lias survived many crises in the past and hasgone on to new highs. It will again.

The ownership of things will not be very profitablein the nineties. Taxes and the cost of maintenancewill outweigh any other gains to be possibly made.Real estate will be a buyers market for some time tocome. Well situated apartments will soon be in shortsupply and if financing can be had in the 6-8% range,it may prove profitable to invest in. Other real estateis not attractive and renting is preferable in theforeseeable future to buying. If you must buy ahome, don't rush. Don't be afraid to make very lowoffers and seek lower financing costs.

Continue to estimate all debt in your life as a goal.Balance your assets about 50/50 in fixed dollar andequity positions. Use IRA, pension and 401 (k) ac-counts as tax deferred savings vehicles. Make sureyou're living on your net income and not on yourgross. Young families will have to learn to live on oneincome as the cost of child care and work expensescontinue to climb. The value of a quality homemakercan't be measured in dollars and cents. Many two in-come families should reassess the value of the secondincome from all aspects. We all need to refocus onthe longer-term goals in life and accept the short-term swings with patience. Trying to time the finan-cial markets for short-term gains is a losers game!Think positive!

They are an organiza-tion of retired men who meet weekly on Thursdayfrom 10 a.m. to 12 noon at the Westfield YMCA.The purpose of this organization is to providefellowship and activities for like minded men who,though retired, want to continue an active life. Meetingshave an average attendance of 80-100 men and in-clude reports by committees, group singing, music bythe chorus, guest speakers, films, etc.

Group activities include bridge, shuffleboard,golf, bowling, trips, luncheons, ladies' events and theMerrymen. The Merrymen chorus is for men who en-joy singing. They perform at weekly meetings, publicgatherings and charitable institutions. The band iscomposed of members of the chorus presenting vocaland instrumental selections at public gatherings andcharitable institutions.

Excerpts from an address given to the Old Guardon February 18, 1958 by a past member AdmiralE.D. Stanley, U.S.N., retired include:

"So we in the Old Guard stand on the same levelseeking no objective but that of mutual respect andkindness and charity towards each other, in a spiritof generosity, no reciprocity."

"This is not just an 'Old Home Week' for men ofone school or one profession or industry. It is a cross-section of the world-at-large with all sorts of con-trasting characters. Throw them together and youhave a fizz, like a seidlitz powder, something to stiryour sluggish soul and stimulate your nervoussystem."

Fifth grade boysconclude busy week

Men's 18-29 Leaguereaches half-way point

The 1HM fifth gradeboys had a busy weekendas January came to aclose. On Friday evening,I hey faced an experiencedSt. Helen's squad whichhas been near the top ofthe league standings allseason. What figured tobe a one-sided contestquickly became a lough,gritty display of defense.Ben Martinez sparked asecond quarter rally withseveral well aimed slashesthrough the middle asIHM came within fourpoints of St. Helen's byhalf time. Jimmy Lucianopowered in three basketsundernealh and DannyMorris found the rangefor four points. TedSweeney, Jimmy Thom-son, and Doug Bishopcontributed several steals,but St. Helen's outlastedthe IHM pressure for a32-18 victory.

The next day, IHMcame after Assumptionfrom the opening tap witha well balanced attackfeaturing the scoring ofeight players. IHM tookan eight point lead into thesecond quar te r , butAssumption fought back

to tie the score byhalf time. The fifth gradersproved they havedeveloped poise underpressure in the secondhalf, first holding theiropponents to a singlepoint in the third quarter,and then exploding fortheir highest point total ofthe season in a tensefourth quarter, which sawa spirited Assumptioncomeback. But IHM mat-ched them basket forbasket, and earned theirsecond victory with twodramatic free throws byJeff Gillie and smooth ballhandling by Ted Sweeneyagainst the full courtAssumption defense. Theresult was a 31-27 win inIHM's strongest effort sofar. Ben Martinez con-tinued his lightning raidson the basket for eightpoints. Jimmy Lucianogot five hard earnedpoints underneath, whileJeff Feighner and DougBishop converted offen-sive rebounds into fourpoints each.

The developing skills ofAndrew and John Hlavacand Pete Di Giralamo findIHM ready for a late runat a playoff spot.

allies in the Persian Gulf.Only the oil rich Gulf states can afford to purchase

the sophisticated missiles and new weapons of massdestruction. Indeed, Iraq's main goal in invadingKuwait was the billions in oil wealth it needed todevelop its nuclear capacity and missile deliverysystems. Stopping Iraq thus became a moral im-perative.

The Bush-Gorbachev summit meeting can lay theground for establishing a common framework forcontrolling the arms race. We must end this plungetowards military terror by dangerous dictatorships.

Congress can do its part. I am sponsoring the WarPrevention and Arms Transfer Act to cut off foreignfirms and buyer nations from U.S. trade and militaryand economic aid if they violate restrictions of theArms Export Control Act. The President could waivethese provisions on a case-by-case basis and allowarms sales for legitimate self defense. But long rangemissiles that can be fitted with nuclear or germwarheads could not be sold to countries that aredetermined by the President to be a threat to peace.

Arms makers would have a stark choice: Eitherstop selling weapons of mass destruction to countrieslike Iraq and Syria, or lose access to the lucrativeU.S. market for consumer and industrial goods. Itcould serve as a model for restraint by other coun-tries caught up in the arms race.
